A Single-Issue Business Review is a focused commercial and operational review of one defined nursery business problem, covering the relevant information, a 60-minute remote session and written next actions.
A narrower starting point
One question. Proper preparation.
The Single-Issue Business Review is for an owner who can define the problem but wants an experienced second view before acting.
The £225 fee covers one agreed issue for one nursery setting. I review the information you provide before the session, work through the issue with you and set out the next actions in writing.
What is included
A focused piece of work.
The scope stays narrow so the time is spent examining the issue rather than trying to diagnose the whole nursery.
Information before the call
You submit a short context form and one relevant document or set of figures connected to the agreed issue.
60-minute remote session
I work through what the information shows with you, what may be causing the issue and what needs checking before you act.
Written next actions
You receive a one-page summary of the main findings and recommended next actions following the session.
Suitable issues
Use it when the question is already clear.
Examples include:
- Why staffing cost is higher than expected.
- Weak occupancy or enquiry conversion in one setting.
- Manager accountability or unclear responsibilities.
- Too much operational work depending on the owner.
- One specific fee, cash or operating decision.
I confirm the issue and information needed before the review. If the problem is too broad for this format, I will explain that before you commit.
What it does not include
Clear limits protect the value of the session.
This is not a whole-business diagnosis, implementation project or open-ended advice arrangement. It does not replace accounting, tax, legal, employment-law, safeguarding or regulatory specialist work, and it does not guarantee a financial result.
If the issue crosses staffing, occupancy, fees, cash, management and risk, the £795 Business Health Check is likely to be the better starting point.
Common questions
Questions nursery owners ask before they book.
What is a Single-Issue Business Review?
A Single-Issue Business Review is a focused review of one defined nursery business problem. I review the agreed information in advance, work through the issue with you and set out the next actions in writing. It is intended for a question that is already clear enough to examine without opening up the whole business.
How much does the Single-Issue Business Review cost?
The Single-Issue Business Review costs £225 as a fixed fee for one agreed issue at one nursery setting. I confirm the scope before you commit. If the question is too broad for the fixed review, I will say so rather than allowing the scope to drift after booking.
What is included in the £225 fee?
The £225 fee includes advance review of the agreed information, a 60-minute remote session and written next actions. The scope stays deliberately narrow so the time is spent on the issue you have identified. It is not intended to become a full review of every part of the nursery business.
How long does the review take?
The main review session is 60 minutes. I review the agreed information beforehand and provide written next actions after the session. The preparation and follow-up sit around that hour so the session itself can focus on the issue rather than basic information gathering.
What sort of issues can I bring to the review?
The review can cover one defined commercial or operational issue such as staffing cost, occupancy, enquiry conversion, manager accountability, owner dependency, fees or cash. The important point is that the question can be stated clearly enough to investigate in a focused review. If it cannot, I will tell you before you book.
When should I choose the £795 Business Health Check instead?
Choose the Business Health Check when several issues may be connected or you are not sure what is causing the problem. The Single-Issue Review is the better fit when the question is already clear. The Health Check is wider because it tests how the different parts of the business may be affecting each other.
Is the review only for single-setting owners?
The fixed £225 scope is for one issue at one nursery setting. Owners of nursery groups can still use my support, but a question spanning several settings may need a separately agreed scope. I will confirm that before any work starts.
Do you work with nursery owners outside Kent?
Yes. I am based in Maidstone and work with nursery owners throughout the UK. The Single-Issue Business Review is delivered remotely, which makes it suitable for owners outside Kent as well. Location does not change the fixed one-setting fee.
One issue taking too much of your attention?
Send me the question and a little context. I will confirm whether it fits the £225 review before you proceed.
